"It will end pretty quickly, I say. First round by knockout. First round... It's a three-round fight I think this one, and I don't think it's going to go three rounds at all. And I already I started my pre-training way before, to help with Soa [Palelei's] camp, and I'm just back home now. So I'm gonna be getting into my training and starting my camp in the next couple of weeks, three weeks. So I'll be in tip-top shape, and I won't make the mistake I did last time. I was up having to cut weight. So I'll be fine."

-Mark Hunt talks to Submission Radio about his rematch with Bigfoot Silva at UFC 193 and why he expects it to end quickly.

Penick's Analysis: The first fight was absolutely brutal for both, a draining 25-minute slug fest that led to tons of damage to both. It's impossible for this fight to equal that one, in part because it will only be three rounds, but if Hunt can pull off the finish it would still be a very big win for him. Silva looked better in his last outing than he had since the Hunt fight, so there's slightly more intrigue than there would have been off his previous losses, but for the fans in Australia it will serve as an entertaining piece of the card.
